SOLOMON LEVY, OF WVARE, MASSACHUSETTS.

BABY-WALKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,657, dated June 3, 1884.

I Application filed March S, 1824. (No model.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SOLOMON LEVY, a citizen of the United States, residing at WVare, in the county of Hampshire and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Baby- Walker, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to baby-walkers; and it has for its object to provide a device of this character which shall be cheap and simple in its construction, and which shall also be attractive and entertaining.

With these ends in View the invention consists in the improved construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a baby-walker constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse section. Fig.3 is a plan view and Fig. 4 a vertical longitudinal section.

In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters refer to corresponding parts in the several figures, A represents a suitable platform or base, which is provided with rollers or casters a, by which the platform may be moved from place to place.

B represents a box which is supported upon said platform, and which is provided with doors b. This box is for the purpose of serving as a receptacle for the toys and other articles of a child.

0 represents a table or stand, which is supported upon the platform A by suitable legs, 0. This table or stand 0 is provided with an opening, 0, to the sides of which are hinged.

doors 0*, which are upholstered on their under side, with a view to serving as an easy rest for the user.

D represents a handle or tongue for drawing the device, the same being attached to two of the legs. Upon the inner sides of the rear legs are provided screw-eyes, which are adapted to receive the ends of trunnions projecting laterally from a platform, E, which is provided at its front end with a hinged portion, E, which is provided on its under side with a pivoted support or standard, e, which, when this platform E is raised, is adapted to rest on the top or roof of the box B. This platform E may,

however, be folded and swung upon the trunnions outside of the supporting-legs, and held by means of a hook engaging a pin formed on the supporting-standard, as shown in Fig. 3.

F represents a leaf or tray, which is hinged to the forward end of the table or stand 0, and when raised is supported by a pivoted bracket, f, which is attached to the under side of the said platform 0, adjacent to the folding leaf.

Upon the upper side of the table or stand 0 is provided a railing, G, which extends around the rear and side portions, leaving the front open. To the front end of this railing is pivoted a U-shaped frame, H, which is provided at its lower end with enlargements it, one of which is provided with a curved slot, h, which engages a pin, if, projecting outwardly from the inner side of the railing. Both ends of this U shaped bracket are pivoted to the railing, and the bracket is provided at its upper end with a U-shaped loop, in the sides of which is pivoted a bell having attached to its upper end a cord, which is placed within easy access of the child using the device, and may be rung when desired. This U-shaped frame may be folded flat upon the railing when desired, as it is pivoted thereto; but when in an upright position is supported by means of a hook, which is adapted to engage a perforation formed in one of the enlargements h.

It will be seen from the above description that my device is not only simple in its construction, but'that it is very entertaining and amusing to a young child.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with a suitable base or platform mounted upon rollers, of a stand supported thereon and having a central opening and a box having doors, the roof or top of which forms a rest or support for the user, substantially as forth.

2. The combination, with a suitable base or platform mounted upon rollers, of a stand supported thereon and having a central opening, to the sides of which are hinged doors upholstered or cushioned on their under sides, and a box located below said opening and resting on the platform, the roof or top of said box forming a support for the user, substantially as set forth 3. The combination, with the legs of a babywalker, of two hinged sections recessed to form an opening, and secured to said legs by means of screw-eyes, which engage trunnions formed on one of said sections, and a pivoted upright or standard forsupporting the same, substantially as set forth.

1. The combination, with the legs of a babywalker, of two hinged sections, one of which is provided with trunnions to engage screweyes secured to said legs, a pivoted support having a pin, and a hook secured to the top of the stand or table. whereby said sections may be folded and supported outside of the legs, substantially as set forth.

The combination, with the top portion of a baby 'alker, of a pivoted bracket carrying a bell, and a cord for operating the same, sub stantially as set forth.

6. The combination, with the top portion of a babywvalker, of a pivoted U shaped bracket formed with a depending loop at its upper end, a bell pivoted in the sides of said loop, and a cord for operating the same, substantially as set forth.

7. The combination, with a baby-walker, of apivoted U shaped bracket having a depending loop, a bell pivoted in said loop, a cord for operating the same, and. a pin projecting from the frame of the top portion adapted to engage a slot formed at the bottom of the said bracket, substantially as setforth.

8. The combination, with a stand havin a railing, as shown, of a U-shaped bracket having enlargements 71, secured to said railing, and provided with a depending loop, in which is mounted a bell having a cord attached there to for operating the same, one of the enlarged ends h being formed with a curved slot to engage a pin projecting from the railing, and the other with a perforation to receive a hook, whereby the bracket may be locked in a raised position, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto ai'tixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SOLOMON LEVY.
